The Most Important Things for a Good Life

Daily writing prompt
What are the most important things needed to live a good life?

Without love life is lonely and self-focused.

Without joy life is dull drudgery.

Without peace life is full of stress and anxiety.

Without patience life is annoying.

Without kindness life is cruel.

Without goodness life is awash with evil.

Without faithfulness life is constantly confusing us.

Without gentleness life is pushy and brash.

Without self-control life is a runaway train.

To avoid being without these 9 most important things, continually surrender your life to God the Holy Spirit and allow Him to turn your heart into His orchard so that He can produce these characteristics as His fruit within you. The Bible calls them “the fruit of the Spirit.” (Galatians 5:22-23) God’s fruit-filled diet will work wonders in your life!

When Christians are bored
The Holy Spirit
Is being ignored
And their awareness
Of the living Lord
Needs to be restored.

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!
